BT White Dog Cocktails

Anybody got any?

I bought a bottle of this stuff as part of my learning experience, trying to get a feel of what whiskey tastes like straight off the still. Plus it's a pretty good conversation starter and overall a pretty unique product. However I foresee this stuff lasting forever since I can only manage to get down a few sips at a time.

I was able to find one cocktail online but haven't yet tried it, so anybody got anything else?

A bar in Portland Uses House Spirits unaged rye to make what it calls the O'Harry, which is described as "a modern Manhattan of sorts, with a mixture of sweet Italian vermouth and house-made grenadine rendered from fresh pomegranates."

Exact proportions are not given, but perhaps one could experiment. You might want to substitute pomegranate liqueur for the house-made syrup.

one part Gran Gala (or Cointreau)

Shake with ice and serve up. A lemon twist and lightly sugared rim is a nice addition.

Being one of the few lovers of unaged corn whiskey in these parts (or any others outside of Appalachia) I think the BT white dog would work well in applications like those Scott and Beakerboy mention.

One of my favorite summer drinks is a Corn Whiskey Gimlet: Virginia Lightning with a squeeze from a big wedge of lime, garnished with said lime wedge. I would thing that the BTWD would do well this way diluted down to 90 or 100 proof.
